Eric Ashe joined the UMass Boston coaching staff after five
years of competing and one year as a volunteer assistant coach for
Boston University. From 2006-2011, Ashe was a two-year captain,
three-time MVP for cross-country and an America East Conference
champion in the 3K Steeplechase. He also led the cross-country team
to a team conference championship in 2010.

Over the last two seasons with the Beacons, Ashe worked
tirelessly with the squad's long distance runners to create more
regimented routines, while helping everyone on the team see major
gains throughout the season.

At Whitman-Hanson Regional High School in Whitman,
Massachusetts, Ashe was a captain of the cross-country and track
teams and was runner-up in the State Championship Mile, as a
senior.

Originally from Hanson, Massachusetts, Ashe graduated from
Boston University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in
International Relations and in 2012 with a Master of Criminal
Justice.
